Carla's Graphic Designs

Overview

Carla's Graphic Designs has supplied the graphics that are the basis for four Second Site Themes. Thank you, Carla! Second Site user Carol Macke created a custom Theme using Carla's graphics, and that was the inspiration for those Themes.

Choose one of the Themes listed below via the Style.Theme pull-down menu.

Carla's A New Adventure

Carla's Family History

Carla's Family Tree

Carla's Settlers

The pages use similar visual components including an optional left-hand border. The backgrounds, button images, and other adornments and images change according to the Theme choice.

Second Site will automatically create sites that honor Carla's Terms of Use as they were defined as of August 1, 2002, with one exception: Second Site does not include a link to Carla's site on each page that contains her graphics. Carla's site is no longer operable at her original URL and I have been unable to contact her to obtain a replacement URL.

You are welcome to use the graphics included in this Theme on personal and not for profit sites ONLY, but you must agree to Carla's Terms of Use which specify that you may not modify the graphics supplied with the Theme (other than to add text to buttons) and you may not mix on your own graphic elements.

The border image offset property in the Stylesheets.System.Layout.Layout Widths section determines how many pixels to reserve along the left-hand side of the page for the graphic border image. Each Theme sets an appropriate value, but you can adjust it if you want more or less of a margin.

Example Left-hand Border Image

Carla's sets contain a single background image that includes the left-hand border. Second Site expects two images as described above. The background.jpg should not include the border image. The leftborder.jpg image should contain a single copy of the border image as shown in the example. Second Site uses CSS statements to repeat the image down the left-hand side of the page.
